He was at SnowFest, Ski-Scotland's popular snow fun festival and the festival's timings were tweaked to fit with Billy's tight-packed competition and training schedule.

Billy flew in to Scotland from the Alps just for SnowFest and returned to Switzerland immediately afterwards.

Before flying back to Switzerland on Monday, Billy said: "I've really enjoyed my few hours in Scotland's snowy mountains. The views were amazing, particularly from Nevis Range down to sea level. And I couldn't believe how excited the kids were to learn a few tips from me. However, on Saturday evening, these Coe Cup competitors were certainly good natured, but I couldn't understand a word they were saying!"

"It was brilliant that Billy managed to visit Scotland during this great season, giving a tremendous boost to our up-and-coming young athletes and raising the profile of Scottish skiing and snowboarding. We do hope he'll return any time he can fit a visit into his schedule. Haste ye back, Billy, or in translation, come back soon!" said the Chair of Ski-Scotland and owner of Glencoe Mountain Resort, Andy Meldrum.

On Sunday morning he was at Glencoe.

Then he returned on Sunday morning to have fun on the terrain park with some of Scotland's young snowboarders before moving on to Nevis Range for the afternoon.

At the Nevis Range he joinedone of the instructors delivering a snowboard session for local youngsters.

Ski-Scotland is currently focusing its marketing on 'staycation snowsports', encouraging people in Scotland's Central Belt and the North, Midlands and South East of England to enjoy this winter's abundant Scottish snow.

"Welcoming Billy Morgan to this year's Ski-Scotland SnowFest is an amazing opportunity to shine the spotlight on Scotland as a destination for snowsports," said the VisitScotland Marketing Manager, Steve Duncan.

"Not only does Scotland offer the best outdoor skiing and snowboarding in the UK, but the resorts are all easily accessible and boast some of Europe's most breath-taking scenery."

"We are delighted to support Ski-Scotland's exciting new campaign and we are sure that Billy Morgan's arrival will help encourage snowsports enthusiasts to visit Scotland's stunning mountain centres in the coming months and years."

Billy Morgan learnt his skills on an artificial ski slope in Southampton.
